Clarendon Hills ‘Astralis’ Syrah
Astralis is the flagship Syrah from Clarendon Hills, sourced exclusively from a single dry-grown, low-yielding vineyard of old bush vines in Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale. First released in 1994, it is produced using traditional winemaking techniques—hand harvesting, whole-berry fermentation, and maturation in French oak—to preserve site expression.

Critic Reviews

96 Points - Campbell Mattinson, Wine Companion

“It takes richness and ripeness to extremes and yet it's elegant, controlled and long. It's precision engineering in wine form. The thrust of dark fruit, the sleek veneer of cedary, smoky oak, the attention-to-detail evident everywhere you look.`”

95 Points - Campbell Mattinson, Wine Advocate

“Cola, dried spices, menthol and blueberry notes all appear on the nose of the 2014 Astralis Syrah. A massive yet approachable wine, it's full-bodied and creamy-textured, with a rich, velvety finish that picks up awesome savory notes of anise, cracked pepper and roasted meat. It's simply a terrific wine that may be drunk soon or held up to two decades.”
